Africa-Press – Botswana. <\/strong><\/span>In a period of time when when a major corruption case involved less than P200 000, mere use of an unproblematic term could consume a whole week\u2019s news cycle. Thus when then Botswana Guardian editor, Outsa Mokone, coined the term \u201cpassion killings\u201d to describe cases of men murdering their female partners, President Festus Mogae got as outraged as to officialise his objection to the term at a Botswana Democratic Party National Council meeting.<\/b><\/p>\n

Shortly thereafter, a GabZ FM breakfast show focused on the use of this term. The guests were Mokone and then Permanent Secretary to the President, Molosiwa Selepeng \u2013 who, as part of making his case against use of the term sought to establish his authority by stating that he had studied English at university. In response, Mokone said that he had majored in English at the University of Botswana.<\/p>\n

(Around this time, a director of roads department, Kebonyekgotla Kemokgatla, had been found guilty of accepting a bribe of P170 000 in exchange for awarding a road construction tender to a company Zakhem Construction Company. The state\u2019s star (and accomplice) witness was Nicolas Zakhem, who spilled the beans on the corruption that had been happening behind closed doors.) Despite Mogae\u2019s objection, \u201cpassion killings\u201d was successfully franchised into public consciousness and more than two decades later, is apparently part of not just Botswana but Southern Africa\u2019s lexicon.<\/p>\n

Just last week, \u201cpassion killings\u201d appeared in a statement that was made by none other President Mokgweetsi Masisi. \u201cBagaetsho [compatriots], on another note, as you are aware passion killings continue to be on the rise, a trend that is unfortunate and worrisome,\u201d reads part of a message which mostly dealt with a recent tragic road accident along the Francistown-Maun road in which 22 people died. Post-office, Mogae maintained his opposition to \u201cpassion killings.\u201d Addressing the Global Commission on Elections, Democracy and Security in 2013, he urged his listeners to desist from using that term and suggested a new one: \u201chatred killings\u201d.<\/p>\n

The August 25, 2013 issue of quotes the former president as saying the following: \u201cThere is no passion in these heinous crimes. You can\u2019t refer to these crimes as passion killings when they use knives to slay women. This is hatred killing.\u201d Indeed there is a lot of hatred in these killings but \u201chatred killings\u201d just never gained traction. Likely on linguistic influence from Botswana, \u201cpassion killings\u201d is now being widely used in neighbouring countries. Through its \u201cLetter from Africa\u201d series, the BBC invited African journalists to write about their part of Africa. The March 3, 2016 issue featured an article by Farai Sevenzo whose introduction states the following: \u201cPassion killings have become a tragic trend in the southern African nation of Namibia over the last three years.<\/p>\n

The Namibian police described passion killings as murder cases between intimate partners such as husband and wife, boyfriend and girlfriend, and exes.\u201d The term has also found acceptability in Zimbabwe where, as in Botswana, it is used in reference to incidents of men murdering their spouses. A headline in the July 5, 2015 edition of press Mail asks: \u201cPassion killings: Is This the New Love?\u201d The story says that cases of people in romantic relationships killing and maiming each other are happening on a weekly basis. \u201cPassion killings have sadly become the in thing,\u201d observes the writer, adding in another part that \u201cin the just-ended half year, several cases of passion killing of a horrific nature were reported in and around Harare.\u201d<\/p>\n

By coincidence, the article is illustrated with the case of \u201ca married Botswana-based Harare pastor, Reverend Rosbon Munamba, who allegedly drenched his now deceased lover, Rudo Bakasa, with sulphuric acid after she had ended their extra-matrimonial alliance.\u201d The term is also being used internationally. As late as two years ago (January 26, 2021), a pan-African media organisation published a story from Zambia headlined <\/b>\u201cZambians Alarmed by Surge in Suicide and Passion Killings among Youths.\u201dOne part of the article reads: \u201cAmong the ways of combating passion killings, suggested by commentators, what stands out is that communication is key and perhaps establishment of a vigorous psychosocial counselling programme, may just be the starting point and should be a concerted effort by government, civil society, the church, community leaders and other stakeholders.\u201d<\/p>\n

The term has been used in an international academic journal (Journal of Interpersonal Violence) in an academic paper that addressed the Namibian situation. The title of the paper is \u201cMen\u2019s Accounts of Passion Killings in the Namibian Context.\u201d One of the paper\u2019s three authors, Dr. Simon Duff works at theCentre for Forensic and Family Psychology of the University of Nottingham in the United Kingdom. Mogae\u2019s objection to the use of \u201cpassion killing\u201d is astonishing. The term is gaining wide acceptance even outside Botswana and its equivalent exists in not just the English language but the legal tradition (Roman-Dutch law) that Botswana, which became a British colony in 1885, has been using for more than a century now.<\/p>\n

That term is \u201ccrime of passion\u201d which began its life in 1804 in the original French: crime passionnel. The latter translates as \u201ccrime of passion.\u201d During his reign, Napoleon established the French civil code (the so-called Napoleonic Code) which was not drawn from existing French laws but instead from a sixth century codification of Roman law developed during the reign of an Eastern Roman emperor called Justinian the Great. The latter ruled from 527 to 565. In that regard, \u201ccrime of passion\u201d has existed since 1804.<\/p>\n

\u201cPassion killing\u201d neither expands nor contracts \u201ccrime of passion\u201d but merely recasts it: killing is a crime and the one in question involves passion. The Zambian publication mentioned earlier has actually used these terms interchangeably: \u201cThe rate at which young people are reportedly committing suicide and crimes of passion\/passion killings in Zambia has become a source of serious concern. What the latter means is that if Mogae finds \u201cpassion killing\u201d offensive, he should reach similar conclusion with \u201ccrime of passion.\u201d<\/p>\n
